Is a River Alive?
If you love nature writing, you simply must read this, and you must not rush it. Macfarlane’s prose is sumptuous and his sense of wonder is palpable.
Entangled Life: How Fungi Make Our Worlds, Change Our Minds & Shape Our Futures
I always itch for a good book of nature nonfiction in October. This year, as it had been on my TBR forever, I downloaded the audiobook of Entangled Life. Unfortunately, I didn’t love it, but don’t let that stop you from picking it up!
The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World
All in all, a lovely little book that will scratch the itch anytime I want to reread Braiding Sweetgrass but don’t have the time. This would make a great holiday gift for the RWK fan in your life!
The Language of Trees: A Rewilding of Literature and Landscape
This book is drop-dead gorgeous and you simply must purchase yourself a physical copy. And if you read it a little at a time — don’t rush it — you will walk away moved and inspired.
The Overstory
The Overstory is a sprawling, beautiful novel about trees, activism, and interconnectedness — both between us and the planet, and with one another.
Finding the Mother Tree: Discovering the Wisdom of the Forest
Finding the Mother Tree wasn’t quite what I’d expected, but it was interesting and taught me something new and I’m glad I read it. I also recommend the audiobook!
Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants
Braiding Sweetgrass was everything people told me it would be: warm, moving, eye-opening. I read a chapter a day and never wanted it to end.
